Haven't been posting in a while, but I must comment.  Why is it that whenever someone disagrees with Obama that we are automatically labeled racists?  I don't care if he is purple with pink pocadots (sp?), it is his agenda that I disagree with. 

As for lacking class and grace - what about falsely accusing others of spitting on a congressman?  What about comparing the Tea Party to the KKK?  What about saying the Tea Party should go to hell and a congresswoman will help them get there?  What about the Teamster's President acting like the mobster he is (the apple does not fall far from the tree) and inciting the unions to "take out" the Tea Party with them being Obama's army to do so (remember the promise of a civilian army during the campaign)?  What about SEIU using mob (please take all definitions of that word) tactics to intimidate others that do no agree with them?  I guess others have a different understanding of "civil discourse".   As for wars, how about our involvement in Libya without Congressional approval (yes - Iraq and Afghanistan had Congressional approval)?  Before you say - it is NATO in charge of Libya - FYI the US is NATO. 

The NASCAR drivers are FREE Americans and can choose whether or not to accept an invitation if it is not a conflict with their already posted schedule.  We are not yet in a Monarchy that one MUST attend when summoned, nor is it a court action when attendance is a must when served with papers. 

Just my humble opinion.
